I have a little curiosity.
We have a few Alphas (DU 3.2) which are NIS clients of a Solaris 2.5 Sun.
The "group" map is disributed via NIS and defines groups
nobody::60001:
nogroup::65534:
These groups are not defined locally in /etc/group on Alpha.
While I can create and chown a file to nobody.nobody or nobody.nogroup
locally on Alpha (actually for instance our httpd runs as nobody.nogroup),
when I look at an NFS directory mounted from the Sun, I see a file as
-r--r--r-- 1 public 4294967294 154 May 25 15:11 Read.Me
while the same file on the Sun appears correctly as
-r--r--r-- 1 public nobody 154 May 25 15:11 Read.Me
Why is it so ?
Anything to do with 64-bit vs 32-bit ?
Any particular option I should enable in fstab to get rid of this ?
